Highest temperature, warmest setting.

Setting “7”(end-stop) means:

Lowest temperature, coldest setting.

The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment cannot be independently regulated.

At a low ambient temperature of around 16°C, setting '1' should be select setting '2'. At ambient temperature of around 25°C, select setting ‘2’. If you need a lower temperature, select setting ‘3’ or ‘4’. On this setting, you can be sure the fresh food will be reliably frozen and that a storage

temperature of –18°C will be maintained. almacenamiento de -18°C.

If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting '7', ensuring that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C. You should promptly reset the temperature regulator to setting ‘3’ or ‘4’.

High ambient temperatures (e.g., on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position ‘6’ to ‘7’) can cause the compressor to run continuously. Reason: when the room temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance. The refrigerator will not be able to defrost, since automatic defrosting is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also ‘Defrosting’ section). The result is the build-up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear wall. frigorífico. If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting (position ‘3’ or ‘4’). At this setting, the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

EN Internal accessories

Storage shelves/trays

The appliance has various plastic and glass storage shelves and wire trays. Different models have different combinations. You should always slide one of the full-size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and vegetable containers, and keep it in this position.

The height of the shelves can be adjusted: To do this, pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed. Perform the same procedure in reverse to place it at a different height.

Preserves Drinks Cheese storage, fruit and vegetables Meat, salami, cold cuts, dairy products. Ready meals, pastries, preserves Frozen food storage/freezing food

The freezer compartment must be at a temperature of -12°C or colder before freezing food or storing food already frozen. Do not freeze too large a quantity at once (max.1 kg per 24 hours). The quality of food is best preserved when it is frozen right through (to the core) as quickly as possible. Allow warm foods to cool before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption. Observe the maximum maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer. Thawed foods that have not been processed further (cooked) should not be frozen a second time Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. There is a risk of explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials, such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges, etc., in the freezer compartment. Bottles and cans must likewise not be placed in the freezer. These can burst when the content freezes, and hight carbonate content drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer. All foods must be packed air tight before freezing so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.

Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food. para evitar que se sequen y absorban olores de otros alimentos. The following products are suitable for packaging: Airtight polyethylene bags and wraps - Plastic containers with lid - Special plastic covers with elastic - Aluminium oil Freezing and storing frozen food The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food.

Do not touch frozen foods with wet hands Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions.

Lay the packaged food on the floor of the freezer compartment. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost podrían empezar a descongelarse.

The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: para el empaquetamiento de congelados: • Freezer bags and polyethylene wraps • Special containers for frozen food • Extra-thick aluminium foil

The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrapS: plastic clasps, rubber bands or adhesive tape. Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for the frozen food to dry out. Make flat packages, because they freeze more quickly. Do not fill containers for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods,

Preparation of ice cubes

as liquids expand during freezing.

Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds

Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects, since you may damage the refrigerant circuit. Use a plastic scraper.

The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost evaporates by itself.

To speed up the defrosting water process in the freezer, close the doors. Remove pieces of ice that come off before they completely defrost.

After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment (see “Cleaning and Care” section).

Defrosting the freezer compartment

Switching off the appliance

During use of the freezer and when the door is opened, moisture is deposited in the compartment as frost. Remove this frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper. Do not use hard or pointed objects to remove frost from the appliance. The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains only little food.

Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the exception of those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to health and/or contain substances that damage plastics.

NDo not touch frozen foods with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions. Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it in a cool place. Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.

To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regular to position “0”.

If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: remove all refrigerated packages. Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position “0”. Remove the mains plug or pull the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker. Clean thoroughly (see “Cleaning and care” section).

Leave the door open to prevent the build up of odour.

For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.

EThe appliance must be disconnected from the mains during cleaning. Danger of electric shock! Before cleaning, switch off the appliance and remove the plub from the mains, remove the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, with danger of electric shock. Hot steam can damage plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is switched back on.

Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice from orange peel; butyric acid and cleaners that contain. Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. Remove frozen food and food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper. Store well covered in a cool place. Defrost the freezer compartment prior to cleaning (see “Defrosting” section). Switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains, or remove the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents can also be used. After cleaning, wipe with freshwater and rub dry. Accumulation of dust in the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason, thoroughly clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the refrigerator. After everything is dry, switch on the appliance again.

Do not install the appliance near the cooker, radiators or other sources of heat. High ambient temperature cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. Ensure sufficient air circulation and outlet at the base of the appliance and at the back wall of the appliance. Do not obstruct vent openings. Do not place warm food in the appliance. Wait for it to cool first. Only leave the door open as long as necessary. Do not set the temperature any colder than necessary. Put frozen food in the refrigerator to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will then be used to cool the refrigerator. Always keep the heat emitting condenser, the metal grill on the rear wall of the appliance, clean.

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during operation:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped • A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped. • A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon). • A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off Hints for energy saving • Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. • Do not remove the cold accumulators from the freezer basket.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator. • Cover or wrap food, particularly if it has strong flavours. • Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints: • Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for a maximum of 1-2 days. • Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf. • Fruits and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Food such as bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator, unless packed.

• Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap or a polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

• Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.

• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs. • To freeze and thaw more effectively, prepare food in small portions. • Wrap up food in aluminium foil or polyethylene bags. Ensure containers or wrappings are airtight. • To avoid increases in the temperature of food which is already frozen , do not allow nonfrozen food to touch it. • Lean foods freeze better than fatty ones. Salt reduces food storage life.

• Do not eat ice cubes, sorbets or ice cream immediately after removal from the freezer.

There is a risk of freeze burns. • It is advisable to label each package with the freezing date to monitor how long it has been stored for.

Hints for storing frozen food

• Check that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer. • Ensure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the store to the freezer in the shortest possible time. • Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen. • Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
